01:00How much does it take it out of you, you've gone full gas, you've gone for it today, in the context of a three-week race?
01:05You know, it's only a sub-30 minute effort, but it's a hard one at the end of 12, 13 days of racing.
01:11Yeah, I mean, I've been unfortunate and lucky at the same time to miss the brakes the last couple of days, and in Gruppetto I've really been able to take it easy.
01:19I mean, I'm probably one of the lightest guys in Gruppetto, so compared to those guys, climbing with them is okay.
01:24So the last couple of days I've been a bit lighter on the legs.
01:27I mean, it would have been nice to have another recovery day today as well, but I really wanted to test myself, and whenever I wear the green and gold stripes, I want to be able to go full gas and give it my best.
01:36You definitely feel an effort after today, but I mean, tomorrow's going to be one of the hardest days there is, and then we sort of got a couple easy days after that, or easier.
01:44So, yeah, I just wanted to represent the color as well and give it my best, and yeah, I was happy.
